Summary
Prompt: The reason Gladio is so adamant about Noct carrying out his duty is because he carries the Amicitia clan's secret with him - they're tasked with both protecting the King and killing them if they ever stray from the crystal's path, because someone like Ardyn cannot be allowed to happen again.
Gladio is three years old when the 114th King of Lucis is born. The future king is a week old when Gladio’s father takes him to meet him. It is then that his father tells him of his duty to the tiny prince. Gladio looks down at the sleeping prince and can’t help but feel bad for him, so small and already without a mother to help keep him safe. Not even a month old and already life is being unfair to him. He decides then and there, he can do this, he will protect this baby from all harm.

Summary
FFXV kink meme prompt: Gladio's Big Chest Scar. Noctis hates it and is super-passive aggressive about it because it means that Gladio fucked off and almost got killed doing whatever.

Summary
Basically these started out on my tumblr with me calling them, season 3 according to me ficlets, and that's pretty much what this is. Each work is a "rewrite" if you will of the corresponding episode. I'd call them Fix-It fics but so far this has not been true :( I swear though at the very least ONE of these will end up a happy fix-it fic! Wish me luck!

Summary
I wrote this at like 3:00am based on a dream I had. So.
.Mike was touchy, it was just in his nature.
Maybe that's why, when Mike reached out, hands cupping his own, leaning in close, a murmur of “I miss you, Will. I miss us,” all Will did was squeeze back, the way he always had.
It started off the same as always, something unintentional that Will could brush off, accident touches that slowly grew into something friendly, platonic, normal. The occasional nudge of an elbow to his side, a long look and a hand reaching out to grip his shoulder. Simple. Friendly.
But now?
Now Mike couldn't seem to be able to keep his hands off of him.
It was driving Will crazy.

Summary
Mike never intended to write pornography, okay? And he absolutely never thought he’d turn into a near-bestselling author of pornography by the time he was barely twenty-one.
It just happened.

Summary
“That is dumb.” She blinked. “I do not care if Will brings a boy. Will is Will. He is kind. He should be able to go with us and a boy and have fun.”
“Exactly!” Dustin snaps. “Which is why I’m asking Will to be my prom date!”
Or
Dustin Henderson has a plan.
It is a good plan.
The fact that it may cause emotional fallout, accidental matchmaking, and unforeseen consequences is not his fault.- Language:
